RE: [cobalt-developers] Mod_throttle question

["Alexander Povargo" <alpo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Seems I don't include to your httpd.conf next lines:
<Location /throttle-status>
SetHandler throttle-status
</Location>
to your main virtual host and

<Location /throttle-me>
SetHandler throttle-me
</Location>
in your clients virtual hosts.

My suggestion: don't use <Location /throttle-status> due to security
reason: anyone who know you use Throttle module and who looks into
documentation, for example - your hosting clients, will try default
throttle-status  and may open throttle-status page and reset theirs
statistics. For example, if you use Throttle module for bandwidth
control on clients web sites, they able to reset theirs data. Use more
complex Location, for example: 
<Location /admin/.my-server_statistic>
SetHandler throttle-status
</Location>
and your server status page will be available with
http://www.yourdomain.com/admin/.my-server_statistic
